Job Sharing

Users can share URLs and links to jobs through emails, on one or more of their existing social networking accounts, or by sharing a referral link through an email.

Note: Functionality to share jobs varies for administrators, recruiters, employees, alumni and other users. Your ability to share jobs through social channels or by referrals depends upon your access role and your organization's implementation.

Sharing from the Portal Page or When Not Logged In

You can share jobs at any time, whether logged into Sourcing or not, with the following functions:
  • Copying from the browser the URL of a page you are on. Then pasting it into an email message to potential candidates.

  • Clicking a Share this Job or a Copy Link button, generating a unique URL that you can copy and paste in an email message to potential candidates. If a candidate follows the link you will be given referral credit.

Sharing From the Home Page

When logged in, you can also share with and refer candidates with these additional functions:
  • Copying your referral link from User Settings, and pasting it in an email message to potential candidates. If a candidate follows the link you will be given referral credit.

  • Sharing URLs or referral links to the site through existing social networking accounts (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Weibo). To share a URL or link, click on a social channel icon (to the right of the User Settings/Name link). A modal will appear allowing you to log into your account and post to the social channel.

Sharing From the Job Details Page

From the Job Details page you can also share URLs and links to the site by using one of these buttons, provided based upon your user role:
  • Promote this Job - Displays a list of links for administrator and recruiters to Request Referrals (Referrals on Demand), Send to Fans and Followers (Social Jobs Distribution), and Send to Talent Community (Talent Community messages). Click a link and the page to compose the selected campaign or message opens.

  • Recommend this Job / Recommend to a Friend - Displays a list of links for administrators, recruiters, employees and other users to recommend the job by sending a status update or personal message through a social channel, or to copy their referral link and paste in an email or posting on a social channel.

  • Upload Friend's Resume -Opens a modal for employees to enter a friend's contact information, upload their resume file, and submit it for the job.

  • Apply for this Job -Opens the Apply modal for a candidate to enter their contact information and begin the application process.

  • Enhance this Job -Allows an administrator or recruiter to enter a URL link for a video about the job, which candidates can view when they follow your referral links and postings back to this job.

Referral Links

On the Settings page, the Unique Referral Link section displays your referral link, which you can send to friends and other potential candidates via email or social network(s). Copy the full URL and share it; or click Get Short Link to copy the short URL and send that to friends and candidates. (Short URLs allow otherwise long web addresses to be referred to in a Twitter tweet, for example.) If a candidate uses your link to search for a job posting and start an application via Sourcing, you will automatically be listed as the referrer.

General Candidate Referral and Submission

As part of the Sourcing integration with Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition, Sourcing allows for a general submission of a candidate resume (i.e. not attached to a specific job). When activated, the feature allows a logged-in employee to submit a friend’s resume. The Submit Referral button displays at the top of the Home page for front-end users who are employees. When a user clicks the Submit Referral button a popup menu provides these options:
  • Send a Link for your Friend to Apply - Opens the Referral Link modal so you can copy your link and email it to your friend.

  • Share this site with your Friend - Also opens the Referral Link modal so you can copy your link and email it to your friend.

  • Submit Your Friend's Resume - Opens the Upload a Friends Resume modal so you can enter their contact information, upload their resume and submit.

When an employee uploads a resume in this fashion, it creates a profile for the candidate in TEE.

Note: For this feature to work your organization must be using both Sourcing and TE 14B or later, TE must be configured to allow general submissions, and the Allow General Candidates setting must be enabled in Sourcing's Taleo Enterprise Edition configuration section.

Endorsement Emails

When this feature is enabled, the system sends an Endorsement email to a referrer asking for information as to why they are referring a candidate. Referrer's responses to those emails are sent to recruiters based on settings in the Configuration area:
  • Endorsements - Under the Jobs section. Toggles On/Off the sending of endorsement emails to referrers.

  • Notify Recruiter of Endorsement -Under the Messaging section. Toggles On/Off the sending of emails notifying recruiters of an endorsement.

  • Send to Starred Recruiters - Under the Messaging section. Toggles On/Off the routing of endorsement reply emails to recruiters who are associated with a job post based on their tagging of the job post by "starring".

  • Send to Common Email Address - Under the Messaging section. Toggles On/Off the routing of endorsement reply emails to a common email address.

  • Common Email Address - Text entry field to enter the common email address.
